No Jacket Required (180gm Vinyl Deluxe Reissue Edition)
Deluxe 180gm 2LP Reissue Edition!
First released in 1985, Collins' third album 'No Jacket Required' topped the charts in the UK, US and numerous other countries all over the world on a journey that would result in three Grammy Awards (for Best Album, Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male and Producer of the Year for Collins and co-producer Hugh Padgham) and over 20 million sales.
Mixing Collins' trademark emotional ballads alongside strong funk and R&B influences, the album's hit singles – "Sussudio," "One More Night," "Don't Lose My Number" and "Take Me Home" – would also become staples of his live set in the years that followed.
Entirely curated and compiled by Collins himself, his idea for the "Take A Look At Me Now" concept is to examine how his songs have evolved over time, with the majority of the additional content throughout the series focused on live versions of the tracks. By contrasting the original studio versions of the material with later performances, the series demonstrates how Collins' songs take on a life of their own once they're freed from the confines of the studio.
They reissues also feature a bold new artwork concept in which Collins' has recreated his poses from the original album covers with new photography that was shot in the present day.
"I've always been quite proud of my demos and have often made them available as B-sides, but with a few exceptions, I have avoided including those on these collections," says Collins. "Instead, I've focused on how nicely the songs developed when played on stage, rather than showing how they originated."
